The Bay Area’s Own Ruby Ibarra Is the Winner of NPR’s Tiny Desk Contest

The San Lorenzo-raised rapper won over the Tiny Desk judges with her song ‘Bakunawa.’

The winner of NPR’s 2025 Tiny Desk Contest is the Bay Area’s own Ruby Ibarra.

A research scientist and fiercely poetic lyricist raised in San Lorenzo, Ibarra raps in English alongside the Filipino languages of Tagalog and Bisaya. Her Tiny Desk Contest-winning track, “Bakunawa,” was inspired by the dragon-like serpent of Philippine mythology.

A good year for our diaspora cousins, and it's not even June.

It's been a good week; damn.

This is "Yet, Love" by Delphyne (cw: bullying, homophobia, queerphobia, alcohol mention, suicidal thoughts mention)

[ Video Description: Several people in a school classroom, performing the song live. ]

It's a song about growing up queer, and it really speaks to me. It's a submission for Tiny Desk, so please consider listening, sharing, and giving it a thumbs up and commenting if it speaks to you. <3 (Lyrics are in the video description.)

I submitted a performance of my song ‘Inconvenient’ to the @nprmusic Tiny Desk Contest. I wrote it a couple years ago, but I’ve been revisiting a lot lately as I prepare to do more live performances. I heard someone put it that "falling in love should be the most inconvenient thing in the f*cking world". Because I’m headstrong and stubborn as hell, that resonated with me deeply 🙃

I hope you give my song a listen, comment, and like! And if you really dig it, share it with other cyclical romantics like us 💖

Should I release this song?

Ummm yesss!

Let me hear it with a bear…
